Deraldin Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I've been following it, but the games aren't on at a time that I'm likely to watch. I'm usually still sleeping at 10:15am. If they'd stop announcing the final scores ever 5 minutes, I might watch the rebroadcast in the evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshugger Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Either Russia or Canada will win the finals. Finland will get the bronze (as usual). Czeck Republic, Slovakia and Sweden are not impressive at all this year, while Latvia and Belarus are really catching up. USA is still the wildcard for me.

Hurlshort Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 It's not on TV for me at all. I think a few of my Sharks are there now, much earlier than anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthamael Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I saw the Finland - Belarus game yesterday, which we managed to lose on penalty shootout. I caught myself rooting for the David even when my own team was playing the role of Goliath. I think with that I have come to realise just how meaningless these round robin games(or possibly the entire tournament) are. It doesn't really matter at this point whether we are playing Sweden, USA or Switzerland in the quarter-finals, so who cares. Congratulations for the Belarusians anyway. It would never have happened if their goalkeeper wasn't some sort of superhuman, but isn't it always that way in these kind of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshugger Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 For tonight's game between Canada and Finland, i bet that Canada wins by 4-2 or 5-2. Those canucks are just an unstoppable force this tournament.

Balthamael Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Was a bit different game than I expected. Unfortunately win on shootout was worth to us exactly as much as loss on regulation would have been, but otherwise that result leaves a lot to be optimistic about now that the real games finally begin.

mkreku Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Sweden beats out the Czech's for their place in the semifinals. And the Finns are already gone. Good times. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthamael Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 We kinda sucked in that USA game. It happens. Oh well, it's not like we weren't going to be crushed by the Russians anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 The semifinals tonight will be a test of stamina, since both Sweden and Canada played their quarter-finals yesterday. Hopefully it will be interesting.

Balthamael Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Unless Canada comes into tonight's game better prepared than they did yesterday, Sweden will win easily. Of course the problem is, they almost certainly will be better prepared. I can't see them getting too ****y against Swedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
